Good Thursday morning,
Happy New Year’s Eve day.

Good Tuesday morning,
Wow what a crazy day Monday and the hail Sunday night. California does not mess around, when it rains it pours. I am so happy the sunshine is back.
The first rain of the season did not hold back. Most locations in the coastal areas of SB received close to 2 inches of rain, with the mountains receiving 3 to 3.5 inches.

Wow that was quite the downpour last night around 10pm. The skies just opened up and dumped rain for a short period.
I am not sure if I believe this, but my weather station shows 1.36 for yesterday and .43 for today.
